I have an 07 sI sedan and I have been in the market looking for a cai. I have come to the conclusion that I want the Injen Short Ram CAI. My question is if I buy it online will I get all the connections?

Has anyone bought the short ram for the si? What comes with it? Do I have to get the extra connections, map, etc?

Just asking thanks

Injen made a Short Ram Cold Air Intake?? NOOO WAAYY!!!!! How'd they pull THAT off??

No seriously....Short Ram and Cold Air are two different types of Intake. Cold Air pipes down to the bumper....Short Ram is in the engine bay.

If you're buying a brand new CAI online then it SHOULD come with all the hardware necessary for installation.....and the factory MAF sensor plugs right in to the intake. The same goes for the SRI.

 

although i have not bought a short ram...you should get everything you need. if there is anything missing from the injen kit it is hose clamps connecting your intake to the block.

Yea they make one

100 did you actually read what you just quoted?

^ doesnt matter what he said...all that matters is that one exists.

Must have just been a type'o by the OP.

The first sentence in my post was just a "joke" for those that couldn't catch it.

 

My bad but I knew that the intake was by the tire and short ram is under the hood. I know cuz friend had a intake and it sucked water up in the rain. Yea but I was just asking thanks.

 

What is the major difference performance wise and sound wise between a CAI and a Short intake. I'm worried about sucking up water, and also I know a lot of guys that get the AEM intakes have problems with their Check engine lights comin on. Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

I say what the hell buy them both! From what I've read and herd CAI is the way to go. Air from outside the engine compartment is way cooler! The cooler the air the more that can be pulled into your intake manifold. More air = more power. Save the SRI for a rainy day!!

If you're worried about sucking up water then don't do it. You're risking destroying an entire engine for what....a CAI that MIGHT get you a couple more HP. Not worth it IMO. That's why I switched to a SRI. The tone is a little more high-pitched than the deep tone of the CAI, and you still get gains out of it as well.

Stick with either Fujita or Injen. Avoid AEM like a plague.

 

Is sucking up water a huge concern with the new technology out today? I'm not discounting what the fella below said about stickin with a SRI, but I've always heard CAI is the way to go. With the Injen model, isn't there a moisture valve for that purpose?

Sucking up water is one of the most detrimental things you can do to your engine. It will cause it to lock up. CAI isn't necessarily the end all be all of intake systems. The difference in gains is soo small it's not even worth taking the risk.

There are bypass valves and healshields available to help deter water getting into the manifold, but they only protect to a certain degree....and even THEY aren't 100% fool proof.

 

Now are we talkin, ur everyday rain, or some drizzle, or drivin through a 2 foot puddle? I live in the DC area, and even though we get our fair share of rain, I can't forsee drivin through a small pond you know what I mean? What constitutes a water threat in terms of it entering the engine VIA intake?

 

Well obviously you know I have an 08 SI Sedan. No question about it, I don't want to take unneccassary risks. Besides a CAI, or a SRI (which I heard are pointless?) who knows, what are my other options? It's a brand new car so Idon't want to go and start riggin crap just to get a few extra HP. I would really like to get the CAI, but if my chances of flooded the motor are high, then of course it's not something I want to do. But if your saying as long as I pay attention to where I'm driving and road conditions I'll be fine, then I don't see a problem. If everyday driving in the rain and what not won't cause me any problems, then I gues it would be ok. Thanks for ur help and info. I'm ignorant to this stuff. Appreciate it

Drizzle or light rain most likely won't penetrate the filter. But heavy rain....especially when driving on the highway increases the chance of getting water in the intake and the engine. Again...it just varies....if it's really windy, but only moderate rain....you might still get water in the intake depending on the direction of the wind. And if you're driving in the rain long enough...it might accumulate to the point where the filter gets soaked and starts to let water in.

 

for injen there is a thing called a hydroshield its like a cover for you intake filter by using that it can prevent you from sucking water. however~ if your car goes under a huge puddle then there will be problems even with that cover. performance wise im not to sure but sound wise i like the CAI better then the short ram. so here are your option.

1. you can get the CAI along with the hydroshield if the area you live in dont have a huge puddles of water.
2. you can get the SRI, and not worry about the puddles.
3. **** buy them both test them out and slap on the one you like and sell the other one. plain simple.

They both have good and bad issues..

 

Is it true that the Fujita short ram will give you a 10 hp gain? That's impressive for just an intake.

 

i doubt its 10 hp like you said it is impressive for a short ram to pull that much. in my opinion intakes CA or SR i dont think there is really much of a difference between the hp. although fujita is a great company for a intake if it pulled 10 hp then everyone in the aftermarket who is looking for a intake will be whoreing over that. so it is a possibility, but i highly doubt it pulls 10.

 

SRI &gt; CAI

 

The dyno sheet is kind of small and hard to read but it looks like 10 HP. If this is true, I'm definitely getting one.

Did you prefer the sound of the CAI over the SRI? That was another concern I have. Just don't want it to too high and whiny sounding. I prefer the have the deeper tone. BUT, I'd rather have the high pitch tone then to worry about hydrolock all the time. Know what I'm saying?
